Didn't hospitals get more money by labeling deaths as caused by Covid? You don't think that didn't skew the numbers? Follow the money.

So, just as any rational person suspected, the exact things that Trump was excoriated for by the media, if done by Biden get a mild hand slap.

No wonder Trump called them fake news. That's probably his biggest achievement is exposing fake news for what it really is.

Do you guys listen to The Glenn Show podcast where Glenn Loury often talks to John McWhorter? That's one of my favorite podcasts. I hardly miss an episode. Those two guys are great.

Yes at least we don't have those mean tweets to deal with any longer. And isn't it so much more pleasant now that the media has a president who doesn't deserve to be treated so negatively all the time? At least we don't have to read the negative headlines all the time.

It'll be interesting to see what measures actually work to limit colds. Most of what people are doing now have already been shown to be useless. And, it takes prolonged contact to catch bugs, so shopping and restaurant dining aren't the problem. Definitely stay away from airplanes and crowded theat...

Personally I'm never going without a mask ever again, indoors and out. I can't have it on my conscious if I unknowingly spread a deadly disease, disproportionately to poor minorities who serve the function as essential workers for less than poverty wages. The biggest hurdle has been showering with ...

I pray we never have a disease with 100% asymptomatic status or it would be the undoing of humanity as we know it.

This was the line that got me!

You're on fire tomf!

tomf,

I just have to say that you've been crushing it with your posts the last few months. Hat's off to you.

Good stuff, ahrunforthehills, enjoyed reading it very much. These politicians and do-gooders trying to fight the laws of economics are like people jumping off a cliff without a parachute and claiming they can fight the law of gravity. It's a dog eat dog world. The person who won't work won't eat. Pe...

Democrats don't understand simple economics. Why should they? They never had to run a business. Small business owners wouldn't be voting Democrat anyway, so why should the Democrats worry about them (other than the fact that they make up a large part of our economy). Our country has become a farce.

I was a Democrat for a while, although never registered. And Lincoln was a huge hero of mine for a long time also. Now I see him for the fool that he was, leading America away from republicanism and towards federalism, which was a huge mistake. If we still had republicanism, we woudn't need secessio...

The subject line is a current CNN headline. What stupidity. I suppose the people that write those articles probably believe what they are writing. Is America in a race crisis? Of course not. The only crisis is the one ginned up by the Democrats and media for race-baiting identity-politics virtue sig...

Homeschooling is a way for you to threaten right back at the school district.

"wonton disregard" ?

Was that a Freudian slip related to the Wu Flu?

Btw, tomfoolery, I want to compliment you on your newfound long-time registered Democrat persona. Satire is very effective at pointing out inanity.

According to many media reports, supposedly many nations were laughing at the U.S. when Trump was our president. I suspect they are laughing at us a lot more now than they were then, but the media will pretend otherwise.

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/01/right_on_schedule_covid_pivots_for_biden.html From that article: "The New York Times knew about the overly sensitive COVID PCR test last summer, reporting that 90 percent of patients testing positive “carried barely any virus” based on cycle threshol...

I Shrugged, Very well said. I support Trump, and I'm not a white supremacist or a conspiracy theorist. I don't like Trump's obnoxious, belligerent style, but I support him because I think his policies are much better than whatever policies we're about to get from Biden. I just hold my nose and ignor...

I agree with you 100%. He's a good talker and has good instincts, I think, but like all these guys his timing could be way off the mark. For example, he says that with all this stimulus money sloshing around it's inevitable that inflation has to take off soon. I'm not so sure. People said the same t...

Have you been listening to the MacroVoices podcast also?

It's funny because I went to Tyler's website just yesterday to see what he used for commodities. I couldn't find it either.

Does anyone else here listen to the Tom Woods Show daily podcast? He's been doing some great reporting on why the Covid lockdown is such a bad idea. This week he interviewed a health scientist from Stanford. One point the guy made was that Fauci is a respected immunologist, but he's done a terrible ...

Vinny, he's a politician, so of course he's a liar. Which politician could you not say that about? The point about the CT scanner is one that has been made on this forum by many people already. After the Trump years, it's only too obvious that everyone in the establishment (media, academia, politici...

I heard Victor Davis Hanson make the same analogy yesterday on his podcast, The Classicist, and I agree with him completely. VDH gets it that the establishment is completely against Trump, even though his accomplishments are many. VDH seems to me a serious thinker who is not a racist, showing that o...

A new war will also give the Dems and the MSM a new focal point and a convenient excuse to finally lay off the Covid-1984 fearmongering. You guys are really jumping ahead here. And this is why this country is fucked. The man won't even take office for two months and his administration is already be...

Nah. He's a neocon. Let's take a poll. I vote we are in a war with Iran within a year. I doubt it...but thta sounds better than a civil war between us. I feel quite the opposite. We shouldn't be the policeman for the world under any circumstances, but especially when we have so many of our own prob...

As I recall, Trump launched a few missiles in Syria early on as a show of force, but then he just left it at that. He didn't try to use it as an excuse to broaden our footprint there. My point is that many of these so-called "emergencies" are likely manufactured excuses for the military-industrial c...
